After listening to Chen Wenduan's introduction to the Huaixi military mutiny in the past, Chen Ming said: "I think that, in this matter, the reason why the generals of my Great Song Dynasty carried a large army and the people to surrender to the enemy has a lot to do with the improper use of people by Emperor Gaozong. “

"Don't talk nonsense, Emperor Gaozong of the Great Song Dynasty is also something that you can evaluate casually as a girl, in case someone tells the mouth of the current saint and treats you with a big disrespectful crime, then you will be miserable. Chen Wenduan reprimanded Chen Mingdao.

Chen Wenduan, who Chen Ming disagreed, said: "Brother, you are too careful, this is on the way to Huaixi, and the guards around are all your cronies, so what's the matter." ”

Chen Wenduan continued: "You girl is bold, but what you girl said does make some sense, Emperor Gaozong did have something wrong when employing people. ”

"Look, brother, you think so too. Chen Ming said with a smile.

Chen Wenduan said: "You girl, really take your way, however, there are some words, it doesn't hurt to talk between you and me, there was a conflict between Zhang Jun and Wang Ding that day, Gaozong supported Wang Ding It was indeed a wise move, but later in order to support Zhang Jun, Wang Ding was dismissed, which completely broke the balance between the two and made Zhang Jun the only one above the court." And this Zhang Jun is also a little frivolous after losing the person who checks and balances;

But at this time, Gaozong thought of a way to promote Lord Yue Feiyue and use Lord Yue to balance Zhang Jun, but he didn't expect that in this way, after Zhang Jun fell out of favor, he was also dissatisfied, and went to join forces with Qin Hui and harmed Lord Yue Feiyue, of course, because of this, he was scolded by future generations. “

"That's it, brother, your analysis is too reasonable, to be honest, in my sister's opinion, as an emperor, it is necessary to carefully weigh all aspects of the relationship, so that the courtiers can give full play to his strengths and restrain each other, only in this way can the stability of the political situation be guaranteed, if you blindly believe in one person's ability, it will only be a tragedy in the end. Chen Ming said.

After Chen Wenduan heard Chen Ming finish speaking, he said to her: "I heard your discussion today, and my brother found that you still have a lot of ideas." “

Hearing his brother praise himself, Chen Ming couldn't help but be very proud, so he continued: "Everyone said that it was Qin Hui who killed Lord Yue Feiyue, but I think the murderer behind the scenes is Emperor Gaozong, just imagine, if it weren't for Emperor Gaozong's acquiescence, how would these two people dare to persecute Lord Yue Feiyue."

Chen Wenduan then sighed: "Yes, in the later period of my Gaozong, my Great Song Dynasty and Jin have reached peace, but Lord Yue Fei's ambition has always been the shame of Xue Jingkang and the return of the two saints, so he is resolutely opposed to peace, so it conflicts with Emperor Gaozong's supreme decision-making;

But this is not the most deadly, and later Lord Yue Fei was also involved in the issue of Emperor Gaozong's heir to the throne, and my Great Song Dynasty was very taboo about military generals interfering in government affairs from the time when Taizu founded the country;

In addition, after Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun handed over the military power, Lord Yue Fei Yue did not hand over the military power for a long time, all of which led to Emperor Gaozong's dissatisfaction with Lord Yue Fei finally erupted, and secretly Qin Hui and Zhang Jun killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges. ”

After Chen Ming heard Chen Wenduan finish speaking, he smiled and said, "Brother, you are very cautious in your words and deeds on weekdays, and you can't imagine that you dare to say such a rebellious thing today." ”

Chen Wenduan continued: "Out of my mouth, into your ears, don't spread it, you must remember this sentence, sister." ”

"This is natural, in this case, if it is not for our closest relatives, it will definitely not be able to talk about it together. Chen Ming said.

Chen Wenduan said to Chen Ming again: "It's good that you understand what's at stake. ”

After saying this, Chen Wenduan said anxiously: "The reason why I tell you this is because the place we went to this time is also the place where the Huaixi army is stationed, and we have some understanding in advance, and if there is anything at that time, you can also help me with the staff." “

Hearing Chen Wenduan say this, Chen Ming asked, "Big brother, what are we going to the garrison in Huaixi this time to investigate?"

Chen Wenduan said: "Since the Huaixi Mutiny, because there is no army to defend a large area, my Great Song Dynasty court sent some generals to recruit soldiers and horses in these blank areas to defend, in order to make up for the lack of troops at that time, among which we are going to the largest of these self-recruited armies, called the "Loyal Brave Army", and the commander of this loyal army is the famous Yue Feiyue's grandson Yue Zhongyong. ”

"It turned out to be the descendant of Lord Yue Feiyue, so after this Yue Zhongyong became a famous general, he was trained by his family since he was a child, and he should be very good at leading soldiers to fight, but now why is there a problem again?" Chen Ming asked.

Chen Wenduan replied: " Some of the salaries and daily materials used by these self-recruited troops are provided by the imperial court, and some are solved by themselves in the local tuntian, and this part provided by the imperial court has always been in full and distributed to them on time, but I don't know what happened recently, the army led by Yue Zhongyong has the problem of arrears of soldiers' salaries, and it is reported that some soldiers have protested because of this, because of the lessons of the last Huaixi mutiny, after the saint knew about this matter, he attached great importance to it, and immediately sent his brother to investigate the matter。 “

"I see, but brother, you are a civilian official, and you have never managed the affairs of the army before, so I am afraid that it will be quite difficult to investigate this matter when you go back. Chen Ming said.

Chen Wenduan continued: "Of course, there is difficulty, but the Holy Lord trusts me very much now, and now that the country is in an eventful season, we should also share the worries of the country as courtiers." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenduan paused for a while, seemed to think for a while, and then said to Chen Ming: "This Yue Zhongyong is loyal and good, and the family style of the Yue family is very good. ”

"Brother's analysis is very reasonable, I also feel the same way, it is said that although we have never met this General Yue, the descendants of Lord Yue Fei should not be far behind. Chen Ming also said.

"Having said that, this army is self-recruited, and the personnel in it are very complicated, so it's better to be cautious and cautious if we go here suddenly. Chen Wenduan said.

Chen Ming replied, "I listen to my brother." ”

The brother and sister walked all the way, chatting all the way, and after about ten days, they finally arrived at the station of the loyal army.
